Our take

Open-source technology brings a range of benefits such as agility and cost-effectiveness. And this makes it a prime target for businesses to add to their tech roster. However, these businesses often find themselves forced into software or contracts they do not need, in order to gain access to those that they do.

Percona provides unbiased, open-source database expertise, providing access to the tools necessary for anyone to turn their ideas into a viable business. Founded in 2006 to support consumers and users in the open-source community, the company now supplies enterprise-class support, services and software for open-source databases, both in on-premises and cloud environments.

Crucially, Percona's solutions enable its clients to develop with their customers’ needs. Clients pay for the advice and expertise provided, rather than for the company to unlock critical software features. And the company continues to evolve its offerings, for example by supplying packages focussed on enabling AI-readiness for enterprises.
